Fiat Chrysler has a unique product in the way of the Ram PowerWagon – but it just got a little less exclusive with the introduction of the 2017 GMC Sierra HD All-Terrain X.

Prior to launch of the new GMC pickup, Ram was the only automaker that offered its heavy duty pickup in a dedicated off-road guise. It now has a true rival in the way of the All-Terrain X, so let’s take a look at what the competition’s offering.

If you want an off-road ready HD truck with a diesel engine, you’ll have to opt for the GMC, as the only engine offered in the PowerWagon is Ram’s 410 horsepower and 429 lb-ft 6.4-liter HEMI V8. On the plus side, the 6.4-liter is more powerful and produces more torque than the 6.0-liter V8 in the GMC.

Apart from the engine offerings, the PowerWagon and All-Terrain X are extremely similar products. They both feature interior and exterior upgrades designed to provide a more aggressive look and both benefit from hill decent control, locking differentials, off-road tires and upgraded suspension.

GMC has yet to announced pricing for the 2017 All-Terrain X. Pricing for the 2017 Ram PowerWagon is not available either, however 2016 model year versions carry an MSRP of $51,160 USD.
